good idea, horrible game play
i love the idea of this game - battle using match three. however the game play is so slow and and start stop. also when you make a high match, e.g. match 4 or 5 in a row, then the message shows up on the screen blocking your whole view of the board. make it faster and more modern and it will be much improved.

Enjoyable and challenging game
Zeus wants to pass the throne to Athena, but the other gods do not agree. Athena has to fight with everyone, - Aphrodite, Heracles, Hermes, Ares, etc... to show them that she deserves the throne.
One by one comes to fight, and depending of the color of the stones you match, you will activate the weapons (fireball, bronze curse, ice blade, etc) earned between stages.
Game is challenging, colorful and has gorgeous graphics.
Good and pleasant entertainment!

A little heavy on throwing fire bolts for me
I appreciate the designers wanting to create a match 3 game with novelty and excitement. Here, you have the Greek gods battling for power via match 3 games. The different matching gems correlate with different spells, and as you make matches, you are increasing the strength of various spells, such as a fire bolt, freezing spell, or a bronzing spell, which you then use throughout the matching game to try to eliminate your opponent, who has similar fire power.
After playing a few levels, and figuring out the value of the new spells, it became apparent that there was some strategy to be learned in being victorious in these contests of power. However, the game, curiously, provides no help section or advice on how to play the game. I will tell you that as you are offered different power upgrades between levels to take them, because they are cumulative; you won't lose the ones you had in the previous level.
I think some people will find this game fascinating and enjoy the strategy of which gems to match first and which spells to power up first, and then figuring out, quickly, the most effective order in which to use the spells. This was just a little too much work for me.
Visually, the graphics and animations are pretty good, but not outstanding, and in places the animations repeated over and over.

Match 3 Meets Battle Planning-Wow!
This is a deceptively simplistic ,match 3 because it's much more It's also a strategic puzzler of a fighting game. You've gotta plan your matches to maximize spell power, harm the opponents and gain healing 'cause those enemy spells really do damage as the game progresses. So why the 4 in graphics quality? The jewels to match are very pale and soetimes difficult to see especially on lighter backgrounds. But that's a very small quibble in a super game. Try it and you may not be able to stop 'til you've won!

The Gods are Slow
This game has great potential. The graphics and sparkle are wonderful. The Gods, Goddesses and minions are super works of art. However, with all the firing of killer weapons, the game is too slow for me. I hope in an update or something, the game can be sped up a bit. I am a huge fan of match games but sorrowfully, I will not buy this one.

Terrific to be a Goddess
This is the best game I have gotten for some time. It is match 3 (or more) but you truly need to think in this came to make the best matches. I have played it through 8 times now and enjoyed it every time. I truly can't speak about the sound as I do not play with sound. It is a long game so you get your money's worth out of it and it gets a lot harder as you go. I also personally enjoy having a goddess win but than I am female and Wiccan so, it suites me. :D

beat the gods or the computer
It is a very challenging game. Connect 3 or more and gain upgrades. shoot fireballs or ice blast at your opponent and get his hit points down. after every lever that is won there is an upgrade, I like that because you do not have to play a lot of levels to get an upgrade that you can immediately use in the next round. Graphics and music are ok and I would buy that game except when I play against Gods or as it is in this game against the computer, I feel at a disadvantage. just when I had the god almost beat he pulled of a lot of chain combos and was impossible to beat. other than that it is pretty good.

Throne of Olympus
Tried this game for the full hour by which time I was very bored. OK This is not the usual Match 3 game, but after a while, the game loses what started off as interesting. It's the games sameness that gets me.
Not for me.

Thorn of Olympus...ouch!
This game was like an old 1980's game. Meaning graphics were lame. Having to wait your turn when playing alone is boring! Although the storyline was cool. Everything else was a thorn in my side!
